Without knowing how your counter value is getting from your Service to your Activity, it is difficult to say if you need to "reconnect" or how that might be done. To stop a service, call stopService(). > how can I know the service is already started ? You don't, generally. Your activity will probably be calling startService() to make sure the service runs (and will keep running even after the activity ends). So, whether the service was started or not, the activity will start it. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://twitter.com/commonsguy Android Training in US: 14-18 June 2010: http://bignerdranch.com -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
